Catastrophes–Whether the taxpayers live in Chicago, Illinois or Pierre, South Dakota-we are all going to be paying for many years for the rebuilding of the Gulf region and unfortunately given the lack of any comprehensive national approach to this problem, we all could be paying the bill for this year’s hurricanes, too.
Compensation–There is not a regulatory desire to eliminate contingent commissions. There is a regulatory desire to disclose the conflict of interest because it is in that scenario that the consumer can be hurt, when the conflict is resolved in the favor of the producer rather than the consumer. Disclosure is the appropriate way to deal with that conflict.
